There's a duck in the pond behind my house and it has a fish hook in it's bill. Not stuck in it but all the way through it. I try to grab the duck but it wont let me. Help please!
this has happened before but it was in the ducks skin.
You need to call the Department of Enviormental Conservation and they will help it or tell you of a wildlife rehabber to call and they can come and get the duck. It is free for all wildlife. You can try to catch it yourself but they are hard to get. A big net if you have one. I would not try to remove it myself as it is usually more complicated then it looks. The duck will also need meds that the rehabber can give. Good luck.
Fish hook stuck in hand while fishing in Alaska. Great removal technique.
I want to pierce my ear lobe with a fish hook. I want the hook to be up side down. I was just wondering if the hooks metals were okay for my ear and if it would get infected because of how im doing it.
Lol not certain if your actually being serious here :P
I wouldnt, the steel the hooks are made of isnt really safe to use, tends to rust very easily. Think you can get some hook shapped jewellery though, that comes in 316L surgical steel, not a good idea to pierce it with though.
Just stay away from barbed hooks, its probably for the best :D

No, don't let anyone demand you take your dog to the vet, my dog had a hook in her back one time, and it was a really simple fix. Something as simple as this doesn't require veterinary care, and what people on here need to realize, is that... not everyone is rolling in the money, and price restraints are a big issue. When my dog had the hook in her back, we fixed it and went on her merry way. It isn't causing as much pain as you think it is. What you'll need is a some wire cutters.
Grab the end of the hook that the line would attach to, and clip it off. Slide the hook out backwards (So you don't catch the prong on her skin).
Or you could clip the pronged side (the sharp side) and then slide it out.
I suggest cleaning it with soap and water right away, and keeping an eye out for infection sides (redness, swelling, and heat around the area). If you see those, take her to a vet to get on antibiotics RIGHT AWAY.
My dog swallowed a small fish hook. What should I do.
take him to the vet-- reason being if it happens to tear him up on the inside it could kill him or cause huge discomfort--
I have my ears stretched to 00g and am kind of regretting it now because I miss wearing hoop and fish hook style earrings. I'm sure studs are out of the question unfortunately, but is there something I can do if i want to wear hoops and other "regular earrings"? Or am i pretty much screwed and have to stick with plugs and other jewelry intended for stretched lobes?
you can wear hoop earrings just put them under your plugs that's what I do..
like they just slide right underneath them
My dog has a fish hook in its bottom lip, and all the vets are closed what should i do?
I got one caught in my leg onetime and i had on long pants. The thing to do is to push the hook all the way through until the hook comes out on the other side, and cut it off with a pair of dikes. They are small pointed snips. It will probably take some help, but don,t stop just keep pushing until the hook comes out where you can cut in in half. It will be the same thing the vet would do, but this is a lot cheaper. Everything will be ok.
When a concerned citizen noticed a Green Valley Park duck had one severe kink in its neck, they did the only thing they could think of, they called the ducktor.
On Monday, Animal Control Officer Don Tanner scooped up a duck with a three-prong fishing hook lodged in its neck and delivered it to the Humane Society of Central Arizona.
Lisa Boyle, with the HSCAZ, said whoever spotted the duck, noticed it was becoming increasingly distressed and needed medical attention.
On Monday, Boyle brought the duck to the Star Valley Veterinary Clinic, along with several dogs and cats being spayed and neutered, to get the hook removed.
Dr. Alan Hallman removed the hook and gave the duck an antibiotic shot.
Boyle considered keeping the duck under observation for several days, but Hallman said it was best to return the duck to its natural environment, where it would be less stressed. Last Tuesday, Boyle released the mended duck off the Green Valley boat dock to a waddling of ducks.
